It sounds like Kelly threw Kizer under the bus. That may not be the aptest description. Discussing Kizer a couple weeks ago, Kelly pointed out that Kizer needed time but thought he had the most upside in the NFL Draft.

Kelly’s assessment of Kizer seems reasonable and honest. Most coaches would have been more diplomatic (are we supposed to criticize him for actually answering questions?). And, yes, any college football coach criticizing an athlete for pursuing a better opportunity to get paid is a tad hypocritical.
